! Achievement !! Guide

| A Calculated Accident || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Soldier]] with the [[R.P.G.]] equipped. Playing in open maps like [[2Bridge]] and [[Dustbowl]] is recommended for this achievement, as well as any gamemodes where many enemies would need to cluster in a small area, like Payload or CP. If you aren't in a map with large sightlines, when you are approaching the frontlines, try firing off a few shots at an upward angle towards where any enemies may be on the off-chance that you hit someone. This is made easier by the fact that the R.P.G. has no damage falloff, so there's no need to worry about not being able to finish off enemies at long range.

| KA-BLOOIE! || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Demoman]] with the [[Dynamite Pack]] equipped. The Dynamite Pack does enough damage to take out both a level 3 [[Dispenser]] and [[Sentry]], alongside the [[Engineer]] if he is absent-minded enough. The Engineer poses a problem, as he can disable your Dynamite Pack with a single hit from his [[Wrench]], so throw it at an Engineer's nest while he is absent or dead, and have it destroy his [[Buildings]]. You can also use it on [[Teleporters]] or [[Jump Pads]], which are often left unattended. Repeat this until you've destroyed 5 of any buildings with the Dynamite Pack.

| Fuse Refusal || As discussed above, this achievement requires you to be playing as an [[Engineer]]. Either wait for a [[Demoman]] to toss some [[Dynamite Pack|Dynamite]] your way, or leap into the fray and defuse any packs thrown at your teammates. To defuse it, simply hit it once with your [[Wrench]] within 2.5 seconds of it being thrown. This achievement is relatively simple, as the Dynamite Pack is a popular pick for Demoman players, and you only need to do this once to get the achievement. However, its short fuse time and the ability of the [[Cyclops]] to immediately detonate the pack will pose an issue to you if you are attempting to get this achievement.

| An Experienced World Traveler || To get this achievement, you must play one full round on [[Dustbowl]], [[2Fort]], [[Badlands]] (Control Points), [[Casbah]] and [[Well]] (Capture the Flag). You can search for servers by map in the "Find Servers" tab, or simply play on official servers until the map rotation puts you on the ones you need.

| Destructive Criticism || This achievement requires you to get lucky enough to play in a server with a Developer, Community Contributor or Beta Tester, and skilled enough to "dominate" them, by killing them 4 times without being killed by them once. If you do end up in a game with them, play as the class you are best at, or [[Spy]], so you can target them without too much resistance.  

| Texan Predictability || This achievement requires you to be playing as an [[Engineer]] with the [[Coilgun]] equipped. Charge up the gun by holding down alt-fire, and once the bar turns red, it gains the ability to ricochet, or bounce off of surfaces. Enclosed, indoor spaces or chokepoints work best for this, like the tunnel in [[Dustbowl]], and aiming horizontally will give you the highest chance of hitting someone. Ricochet shots off the walls around a corner or bend, and hope you hit a weakened enemy. Each bounce will lower the damage of the shot, and it can only bounce 3 times before dissipating, so aim carefully.

| Deep Sleep || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Spy]] with the [[Tranquilizer Gun]] equipped. Shoot an enemy, then go in for the kill. Beware, as shooting an enemy will alert them of your position and existence but will also colorblind them, lower their speed and ranged damage and make them take guaranteed [[Critical hits|Crits]] from melee weapons, making it easier for you to finish them off with your [[Knife]]. Mind that a critical hit with the Knife only does 120 damage, and the Tranquilizer Gun only does 20 damage, so try to target a light class. Do this ten times to get the achievement.

| Birthday Blowout || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Pyro]]. Similarly to the Fuse Refusal achievement, this includes the defusal of a [[Dynamite Pack]], but by way of [[Airblast]] instead of the [[Wrench]]. The Dynamite Pack explodes after 2.5 seconds into four individual dynamite sticks, using the [[Flamethrower]], alt-fire to extinguish their fuses. Either wait for a [[Demoman]] to throw a Dynamite Pack at you, or seek them out to airblast them yourself. Extinguishing 20 of these sticks will get you the achievement.

| Badge of Shame || This achievement requires you to be playing in the [[VIP]] or [[VIP Race]] gamemodes. Approach the [[Civilian]] while he is alone or undefended, and just stand still. If he believes you are friendly, draw your melee weapon and hit him to provoke him. The Civilian's melee only does 35 damage, 105 on a crit, and he is unlikely to engage in combat, so try to corner him or put him in a situation where he believes he has no other choice but to engage you himself. Play as a non-threatening or "weak" class like [[Engineer]], [[Sniper]], [[Medic]], or [[Spy]] to encourage him to attack you, and try to take some damage beforehand to make it easier for him to finish you off with his melee.

! Achievement !! Guide

| The Entrepreneur || This achievement requires you to be playing as the [[Civilian]] in the [[VIP]] gamemode, and win a round without dying. To do this, stick close to your teammates and watch out for [[Sniper]]s and [[Spies]]. Absolutely do not go ahead of your teammates or engage in direct combat. Be as cautious as possible. It would be beneficial to have a [[Medic]] healing you at all times.

| Loyal Servant || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Medic]] in the [[VIP]] or [[VIP Race]] gamemodes. The Civilian has 200 health, can go up to 300 with overheal and is the main target of the enemy team, so he needs quite a bit of healing. With enough time, you will be able to reach 5000 points of healing done to a Civilian. Some progress towards this achievement can also be made with [[Heavy]]'s [[Sandvich]]es, granting 100 health each to the Civilian, and with [[Engineer]]'s [[Dispenser]]s.

| Restraining Order Violation || This achievement requires you to be playing in the [[VIP]] or [[VIP Race]] gamemodes. To get the achievement, you must kill the enemy [[Civilian]] four times in a single round. This is done easiest with the pick classes like [[Sniper]] and [[Spy]], or through assists as a [[Medic]].

| On The Run! || To get this achievement, you must play one full round on [[Badwater Basin (VIP)]], [[Blackstone Harbor]], [[Mineside]], and [[Trainyard]]. You can search for servers by map in the "Find Servers" tab, or simply play on official servers until the map rotation puts you on the ones you need.

| Fraudulent Transaction || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Spy]] in the [[VIP]] or [[VIP Race]] gamemodes. Disguise yourself as a favorable Boost recipient, like [[Heavy]], [[Soldier]] or [[Medic]], and if the [[Civilian]] does boost you with his [[Umbrella]] ([[Mini-crit]]s) or [[Derby Cane]] ([[Haste]]), [[Knife|backstab]] him, or [[Revolver|shoot]] him if he's on low enough health.

| Total Domination || This achievement requires you to be playing in the [[Domination]] gamemode, preferably on [[Oil Canyon]], [[Railway]] or [[Sawtooth]]. to get the achievement, your team must have all of the [[Control point (objective)|Control Point]]s under their control. Play as a [[Scout]] for faster travel from point to point as well as a higher capture rate.

| Oil and Water || To get this achievement, you must play one full round on [[Oil Canyon]] and [[Hydro]]. You can search for servers by map in the "Find Servers" tab, or simply play on official servers until the map rotation puts you on the ones you need. You do not need to win to get the achievement.

| Undercover Boss || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Civilian]]. Stay near your teammates, and if they engage in combat, hide behind props, walls or corners. Your aura will still be accessible through walls. The aura grants 20% damage resistance, so if teammates take a total of 10000 damage while under its effects, you'll get the achievement for helping them resist a total of 2000 damage.

| Employee of the Month || This achievement requires you to be playing on the same team as a [[Civilian]]. It is recommended you play as a [[Heavy]] or a [[Soldier]], but any class you are skilled at will work. If he buffs you, try to kill three enemies before the buff wears off.  

| World's Best Boss || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Civilian]]. Grant a teammate a buff at an opportune time, and if they kill three enemies within the next 8 seconds, you will get this achievement. Do not, in most cases, rely on buffing [[Engineer]]s, [[Medic]]s or [[Spies]] while attempting this achievement.

| Hostile Takeover || This achievement requires you to be playing in the [[VIP]] or [[VIP Race]] gamemodes. To get the achievement, you must kill the enemy [[Civilian]], then two enemies using the crit boost you receive. This is a relatively simple achievement, as Civilians are likely to be near multiple teammates at all times. This achievement is probably done easiest by a skilled sniper, as he can one-shot the Civilian with no warning, then land critical bodyshots on any two classes with [[Medic]] health or lower.

| Look Out for the Little Guy || This achievement requires you to be playing on the same team as a [[Civilian]]. Stay close to him, and if any enemies attack him, target them. Killing 20 enemies who've recently damaged your VIP will grant you the achievement.

| Urgent Care || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Medic]] in the [[VIP]] or [[VIP Race]] gamemodes. If a weaker enemy tries to engage the [[Civilian]] in close combat, after they hit him, target them and try to kill them with the [[Syringe Gun]], [[Bonesaw]] or a fully charged [[Shock Therapy]] hit. Killing the enemy that attacked your Civilian will grant you the achievement.

| Triple Agent || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Spy]] in any [[Four-Team]] maps. Target one team at a time, and keep track of which team each enemies you've backstabbed are on. If you manage to backstab at least one player from each of the three enemy teams in one round, you'll get this achievement.

| Archaeology || Follow the guide on the [[Jinn]] page on how to complete this achievement.

| Bridge over Doubled Water || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Civilian]] in the [[VIP Race]] gamemode. You need to win a full round on both [[2Bridge]] and [[Drizzle]].

| Back to the Drawing Board || This achievement requires you to be playing in the [[VIP Race]] gamemode. Wait until the enemy [[Civilian]] captures the first point, then kill him. This will reset the point, and award you the achievement.

| Fast-track Status || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Civilian]] in the [[VIP Race]] gamemode. You'll need to have some luck to get this achievement, as this achievement relies on having highly skilled  teammates and/or low-skilled enemies. If your team can manage to win a round in under 3 minutes, you'll unlock the achievement.

| Escape Artist || This achievement requires you to be playing in the [[VIP Race]] gamemode. If the timer runs out, you'll enter Sudden Death mode. You'll be unable to respawn, so if your [[Civilian]] dies, you lose. If your Civilian escapes during Sudden Death mode, you'll get the achievement.

| The Big Short || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Civilian]] with a Civilian on the enemy team. Stay near your teammates who are engaging with the enemy team and targeting the enemy VIP. If you assist in four kills against that VIP, you'll gain this achievement.

| Playmaker || This achievement requires you to be playing on [[2Bridge]]. Inside spawn, there is a functional air hockey table. Shoot the puck to knock it into the slot opposite from you three times to unlock the achievement.

| Fowl Play || This achievement requires you to be playing on [[Sunnyside]]. From point A, there is a structure with a large "C" over a doorway. Enter this building, and under the planks with the large health pack on it, is a pair of spinning crushers. Chase a chicken into that hole to unlock the achievement.

| Je Suis James || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Spy]] with the [[Revolver]] equipped. The Revolver does up to 60 damage at point-blank range, and as a Spy, you can see enemy's health, so use this knowledge to your advantage to finish off weakened or isolated enemies with your Revolver. Cloak and retreat every time you do this to avoid dying, and getting three Revolver kills in a single life will grant you this achievement.

| Aged Like Wine || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Demoman]] with the [[Stickybomb Launcher]] equipped. Place stickybombs in a place where enemies are likely to be (usually the objective), and detonate them when an enemy gets close to them after 5 seconds. The Stickybomb Launcher has a damage falloff mechanic where it doesn't do the maximum damage until after 5 seconds of being placed.

| If He Dies... || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Heavy]] with the [[Fists]] equipped. To get this achievement, you need to kill an enemy that is brandishing their melee weapon. Good targets include [[Engineer]]s and [[Spies]] who will be holding their melee weapons often, [[Medic]]s whose melee weapons are usually more reliable for damage than the syringe gun, ''especially'' if they're using the [[Überspritze]], unattended [[Civilian]]s, and [[Heavies]] using the [[Chekhov's Punch]].

| A Burning Memory || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Pyro]] with the [[Fire Axe]] equipped. Try to set as many enemies on fire as possible with your [[Flamethrower]] and [[Flare Gun]], and then die. if possible, kill any enemy [[Medics]], [[Pyro]]s, [[Civilian]]s or [[Dispenser]]s, as these can all cut their afterburn short. A full afterburn duration lasts 10 seconds, and deals a total of 60 damage. Setting 17 enemies on fire would suffice to complete the achievement, but since you aren't likely to be able to die immediately after setting someone on fire, it will likely take more.

| Full Transparency || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Spy]] with the [[Invis Watch]] equipped. While disguised and cloaked, stand near an enemy dispenser until your cloak meter refills, earning you the achievement. Try not to use a frequently used dispenser, and if an unattended one can be found, cloak near it. Level one dispensers will not be enough to sustain your cloak meter while invisible, so it needs to be at least level 2.

| Tele-Tourism || This achievement requires you to be playing as an [[Engineer]] with the [[PDA: Teleporter]] equipped. Place the entrance outside of spawn, and the exit as far as possible. To get the achievement, you need to teleport your teammates over a total distance of 10 kilometres, or 525,000 Hammer Units.

| Phony Express || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Spy]]. Disguise as an enemy, and go to their spawn. Outside of it should be a teleporter. Use it, then backstab the nearest enemy Engineer. If done quickly enough, this will earn you the achievement.

| Shotgun Messenger || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Pyro]] with the [[Shotgun]] equipped. In order to get this achievement, you need to land 3 shots where every pellet hits the enemy within 5 seconds. To do this, you need to be very close to an enemy. Getting a [[Haste]] boost from the [[Civilian]] would make this much easier. Target slower and less mobile classes for better results.

| Molten Steal || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Pyro]] with the [[Flare Gun]] equipped. Stay near any other Pyros on your team, and if they set anyone on fire, shoot them with a flare. Killing an enemy in this way will grant you the achievement.

| Mine's Bigger Than Yours || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Heavy]] with the [[Minigun]] equipped. Engage in combat with enemy heavies, try to ambush them and/or have a [[Medic]] healing you, but don't kill them too quickly, as they need to be revved-up to count as progress towards the achievement.

| Traditional Medicine || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Medic]] with the [[Medi Gun]] or the [[Kritzkrieg]] equipped. Realistically, that is all you need to do, use those two mediguns effectively, and if done for long enough, you will accumulate 200,000 heal points. Consult the [[Basic Medic Strategy]] article for how to do this.

| Shrimp on the Barbie || This achievement requires you to be playing as a [[Sniper]] with the [[Huntsman]] equipped. Use the torches on [[DeGroot Keep]] or [[Krepost]] to light your arrows, or the [[Flamethrower|flames]] of a friendly [[Pyro]]. Getting a kill with this flaming arrow on an enemy standing near a wall can cause that enemy to be pinned to said wall, granting you this achievement.
